I suspect their enterprise computer business creates more revenue than printers.

  Printers are just a loss leader for toner.

    If you put 90% of the electronics into the cartridge and the printer box is just a paper feeder - that's not exactly surprising.

      "Just" feeding paper is extreme engineering. And a disposable vape has more compute in it than a toner cartridge. (Though there is insane non recurring engineering in an inkjet cartridge. But I bet just the warehousing of a printer is a significant part of the total cost of a printer.

      HP retail ink cartridge prices are not a cost issue.
